Knox's Cube Test has been used in ability tests since 1915. Most of these test batteries are out of print or dated. A new revision was developed using Rasch psychometric techniques to build a KCT variable and item bank using the tapping series from all previous editions. This new KCT edition now links all previous versions. The report forms developed give a clear and straight-forward picture of the subject's performance set in a context which is both normative and criterion.
